The Taliban has freed two South Korean women it previously held hostage. Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammad Yousuf, described the release as “a gesture of good faith to the Korean government and United Nations…” now they “want the U.N. and Korean authorities to consider Taliban prisoners, and [they] want to hear a good decision from them.”
(What?!?)
By releasing 2 of the remaining 21 hostages, the Taliban is acting in good faith? And their generosity ought to be reciprocated by the release of criminals?
(Maybe in the bizarro Taliban land!)
I hope that this veil of good will is interpreted for what it is — a desperate attempt by the Taliban to garner sympathy for their cause and attain victory by their despicable act.
Don’t give in! The price is too high!
